Half awake i caught the scent
Of she who would rise again
Velvet coffins side by side
This infant reaper mine
She was dead by dawn
By dusk re-born
This child eternal doomed
Her human heart had died
In a street where the sewer ran free
We christened a dead child
She was dead by dawn
By dusk re-born
This child eternal doomed
We killed by night
Side by side
Destruction, death and ruin
We left behind
She was dead by dawn
By dusk re-born
This child eternal doomed
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
